Physical Security for Ontario Landlords: Protect Your Property, Reduce Liability
For owners of multi-unit residential buildings in Ontario, physical security is directly tied to tenant safety, liability exposure, and insurability. Gaps in access control, lighting, surveillance, perimeter protection, or operational procedures can expose landlords to theft, vandalism, assault claims, and allegations of failing to take reasonable steps to protect tenants and visitors.
This session will be presented by Tyler Stagg, Founder and Principal Security & Risk Advisor at Stagg Solutions. Tyler brings a rare combination of frontline policing experience and large-scale public infrastructure security leadership, having managed security for high-risk assets including schools, police stations, a children’s hospital, and a nuclear training facility.
From an Ontario landlord perspective, courts and insurers increasingly look at whether an owner acted reasonably and proactively once risks were foreseeable. A professional physical security assessment helps landlords document due diligence, identify vulnerabilities early, and implement practical, cost-effective improvements—before incidents occur and liability escalates.
